“Aesthetics Above All” ITF Read & Watch: Sleepy Hollow (1820 short story & 1999 film)

Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is a foundational piece of American Literature whose influence is still being felt well over two centuries later as it continues to inspire adaptations. One standout came in 1999, when Tim Burton’s Johnny Depp-led film took the tale in a new direction, changing major elements of the story. In episode 178, Luke & James get unseasonably spooky with this stylish 90s horror classic, but is it better than the original story?
